The brief

Regularising a de facto situation

The owner had lived in the unit for years, although it was registered as an office for planning purposes. He asked us to regularise the situation so he could let or sell it as a home.

The process

Research before design

Planning study and original drawings.

In the preliminary studies we confirmed that the change of use was compatible with planning rules. We also found the building’s original drawings, which showed the unit was in its original state. As it already met the remaining requirements in that state, the change of use was processed without any works.
